What's the merge plan for this patch set? I am under the impression
that, given the current implementation, both patches can be committed
separately, so each would go upstream through its own tree?

If this is the case, then I guess Guenter expects me to pick the it87
part in my hwmon tree? If you prefer to take it in yours, I don't mind,
I don't have any pending change to the it87 driver.
